Walking and Cycling
Cox's Barn is the perfect place to stay for a walking or cycling holiday. It is a central base to explore the stunning Shropshire countryside, whether it be on foot bike or horse. We provide a safe place to store bikes and equipment. Wet clothing can be dried out overnight as we know the British weather can be unpredictable. There are many beautiful waymarked walks in the area and the local Footpath Association work hard to maintain local paths. There are also three different circular cycle routes that pass our farm.
Jack Mytton WayWe are located close to the Jack Mytton Way – Shropshire’s long distance bridleway which can be walked, cycled or ridden. The Jack Mytton Way has a spur into the town with local equestrian centres arranging treks.
The Simon Evans Way, Cleobury MortimerThe Simon Evans Way follows the footsteps of a writer and broadcaster who was once the postman in Cleobury Mortimer. Seventy years ago Simon Evans who had been gassed and wounded in WWI, was prescribed “a little walking to strengthen my weakened legs and fresh air to strengthen my lungs.” He carried the mail 75,000 miles in total around Cleobury Mortimer in the process. His books and broadcasts on the wireless captured the charm of the town and in particular of his ‘round’, along the River Rea. The Simon Evans Way traces his route and twists and turns along the meanders of the beautiful River Rea to form a figure of eight from the old post office, up and down the valley.
